2 House Control 403
Introduction
The House Control 403 is designed to operate as part of a
complete hydronic heating system with tekmarNet
thermostats. It can provide operation of two outdoor reset
water temperatures such as radiant floor heating on the first
temperature and baseboard or fan coil heating on the second
temperature. In addition the control has Domestic Hot Water
and Setpoint capabilities. It is easy to add more zones, add
schedules or other convenient accessories through the use
